At this moment, the guards guarding the city seemed to have sensed the arrival of a powerful enemy, their expressions suddenly changed, and they hurriedly ran over from their posts.

The guard had a sturdy build and walked quickly but with a bit of panic. The armor on his body made slight clinking sounds as he ran.

He came in front of Ye Chen, stood still with both feet, and saluted with his fists clasped together. His movements were quick and decisive, his face full of respect and fear, and there were even fine beads of sweat on his forehead, which gleamed in the sunlight.

"senior!"

The guard's voice trembled slightly, but he tried to appear calm.

"Your cultivation is unfathomable, and your strength is extraordinary and powerful. You don't need to queue to enter the city, you can pass directly!"

His eyes were full of awe, as if the person standing before him was not a person, but a towering, insurmountable sacred mountain.

Ye Chen naturally understood the guard's thoughts. After all, he had killed Wei Lao, who was in the middle stage of True God, in the life and death arena. Such a feat was enough to make him a strong man in the eyes of everyone.

In this world of immortal cultivation where strength is respected, the majesty of the strong is like the power of heaven and cannot be offended.

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. He flipped his palm lightly, and some divine crystal stones appeared in his palm, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

"Thank you, that's fine, this is the entrance fee."

His voice was calm and steady, like a deep pool without any ripples.

Seeing this, the guard waved his hands repeatedly as if he had seen some hot potato, with a wide swing of his arms, as if he wanted to throw this "gift" away.

His head shook like a rattle, the look of fear on his face became more and more intense, and his eyes were full of confusion and fear about Ye Chen's behavior.

"You are too polite, senior! With your cultivation and status, why do you need to pay to enter the city? This is an honor for our Shenxiao City. Please enter the city directly!"

There was a hint of trepidation and flattery in the guard's words, and he leaned forward slightly, making a "please" gesture, as if he was welcoming an emperor who ruled the world.

Ye Chen was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised by the guard's overreaction.

He shook his head gently, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and he secretly sighed at the reality and power of the world of immortal cultivation.

"All right"

He said softly, with a hint of melancholy in his voice.

Then, Ye Chen strode forward, his clothes fluttering in the wind, like an immortal descending to the earth.

The people behind him were all watching it all silently, their eyes full of awe and respect, as if they were watching a peerless master step into the holy land.

Their eyes followed Ye Chen's figure closely until he disappeared into the city gate. The area was still filled with a feeling of oppression and shock caused by the arrival of a strong man, which lasted for a long time.

After entering Shenxiao City, Ye Chen and others found that the city was more magnificent than they had imagined.

There are many ancient buildings in the city, and the architectural style is a wonderful fusion of ancient immortal cultivation elements.

The streets are spacious and clean, and the ground is flickering with a faint light, as if containing some mysterious energy.

The pedestrians coming and going are of all kinds, including cultivators wearing gorgeous robes and with extraordinary temperament.

There are people from the demon tribe with different appearances, exuding a charming and strange aura.

There are also powerful beastmen who have strong physiques and their explosive power can be clearly felt.

Just as Ye Chen and others were preparing to find an inn to stay, suddenly, a strong energy wave came from the sky, and a huge warship slowly emerged.

The battleship was pitch black, its surface covered with mysterious runes and glittering gems, emitting a powerful and heart-pounding aura.

There is a huge head of a mythical beast carved on the bow, as if it is ready to devour someone.

The appearance of the warship instantly attracted everyone's attention. People on the street stopped and looked up, their eyes full of vigilance and anxiety.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He could feel the powerful pressure emanating from this warship, which was definitely not something an ordinary cultivator could withstand.

Just as he was secretly on guard, the battleship's hatch slowly opened and a dazzling light shone out from it.

Then, a group of people in uniform black uniforms flew down from the warship and flew straight towards Ye Chen and others.

The leader was a tall, stern-faced man with eyes as sharp as an eagle. He exuded a cold aura, as if the air around him was frozen.

His uniform was embroidered with golden threads, outlining complex and mysterious patterns, revealing his extraordinary identity.

The man stopped not far in front of Ye Chen, staring at Ye Chen closely, his eyes full of scrutiny and inquiry.

"Are you Ye Chen?"

The man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the Netherworld, with an unquestionable majesty.

Ye Chen nodded slightly, his expression calm as water, and met the man's gaze calmly.

"Exactly. What can I do for you?"

His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and it resounded like a loud bell. He did not back down at all because of the other party's powerful aura.

The man snorted coldly, his aura fluctuated slightly, and the air around him seemed to be torn apart.

"Humph! You made such a big noise in the life and death arena, and even killed Elder Wei. Do you know that you have gotten yourself into big trouble?"

There was a hint of threat and warning in his words, and a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

"Trouble? From the moment I embarked on the path of cultivation, I have never been afraid of any trouble.

In the arena of life and death, everyone relies on their own abilities. Mr. Wei is not as skilled as others, so he can’t blame others.”

His voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was firm and fearless, as if he was declaring his determination and courage to the world.

The man's face darkened and his eyes became even colder, like a materialized cold light.

"Okay! You are such a fool! In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, the man flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant, and appeared in front of Ye Chen the next moment.

A long sword flashing with cold light appeared in his hand at some point, and it stabbed towards Ye Chen's throat with a sharp sword energy.

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, his feet shifted slightly, and his body quickly dodged sideways like a phantom.

At the same time, he quickly stretched out his right hand, with his fingers together like a knife, and chopped towards the man's wrist. His movements were as fast as lightning and completed in one go.

Upon seeing this, the man quickly withdrew his sword and defended himself, his arm drawing an arc in the air, trying to block Ye Chen's attack.

The two of them instantly started a fierce confrontation in the air, with their figures interweaving at such a speed that it was hard to keep up.

The surrounding air was stirred into chaos by their power, making bursts of whistling sounds.

People on the street retreated, watching this sudden battle in horror, fearing that they would be affected.

Just when Ye Chen was fighting fiercely with the man, several powerful auras came rapidly from a distance.

The leader was a white-haired old man with a kind face, but his eyes revealed deep wisdom and majesty.

Behind the old man was a group of equally powerful cultivators, and their appearance made the atmosphere around them even more tense.

The old man looked at Ye Chen and the man who were fighting fiercely, frowned slightly, and then sighed softly.

"stop!"

His voice was not loud, but it rang like a thunder in everyone's ears, containing a powerful spiritual force that made people involuntarily feel a sense of submission.

When Ye Chen and the man heard the old man's shout, they separated instantly and each retreated several feet, looking at each other and the old man vigilantly.
